  Hey there all you disfigured murderers! It’s time for another visit to the crypt from my buddy Kirby, and he’s brought a very disturbing horror magazine to discuss!

So grab your hunting rifle and let’s take trip to the deep woods!

  Magazines and Monsters Ep 183, Sherlock Holmes 1, 1975 w/Professor Alan!

  Sep 4, 20261h 2mS1

  Yes, your eyes do not deceive you! For the second time this summer, Professor Alan has joined me to talk about Sherlock Holmes! This time around we zoom in on a one-shot (but was it supposed to be only one issue…?) starring the worlds greatest detective! This book is very impressive but there are many questions surrounding it, and we discuss them along with the contents as well. So join two old guys talking comics and hopefully you’ll be entertained for an hour or so. As usual, if you’d like to leave any feedback for the show, you can do so through email at Magazinesandmonsters@gmail.com or to me on Twitter @Billyd_licious on Instagram @magazinesandmonsters, on BlueSky @docstrange or on the show’s FB page (just search Magazines and Monsters).
